Ray Off - Nothing Like A Ribbon Round A Parcel
This is flooded with strings with a different pace to the other two and the addition of the melodica is lovely. The laudanum soaked vocals of "And You Take" are spellbinding indeed ... a great release.
CDr released on Black Petal in 2006.

Ray Off - Clean & Dry Area Before Application
This is the same line-up as the previous post except that it also has the excellent Rory Storm on gamelan.
Whilst you're here ... you probably already know that we are devotees of the delights of the New Zealand underground. Whilst this almost exclusively Dunedin based band aren't included, you need to go to the brilliant Dunedin Sound Tapes. All links are active but there have been no posts for a month. Let's hope it's a hiatus rather than the end!

Ray Off - I Am Not In The Racing Sky
Somebody reviewed these three live recordings thus: "Latest release from this New Zealand freak orchestra led by UFM label boss James Currin and here featuring Katrina Thomson on harp, Pamela Poppins on guitar, organ and voice and Jon Chapman (an original member of Double Leopards) on electronics. Brief parts of this have an ecstatic vocal element that sounds a bit like The Skaters or Ben Reynolds, especially [when] combined with the occasionally ferocious hair-trigger application of microphone feedback and electronics. Use of keyboards is nicely loaded, bringing to mind peak-era Popol Vuh/Tangerine Dream. But it's all framed within these weird avant/chamber folk/drone brackets that are as knotty and warped as your favourite Harvest side. It gets to the point that the rapid succession of electronics/strings/vox/guitar primitivism starts to make much of this recording resemble some kind of episodic travelogue or sound journal, much like the last UFM Ray Off disc, Ghost Wolf Of Thunder Mountain. As soon as you settle back and learn to just dig the scenery it all makes a lot more sense."
Yeah, pretty much, and you can pick up the Ghost Wolf recording here alongside the equally excellent My Favourite Plum 2:18 from 2009.

Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 - The Natural Finger
Back in the day, one of my favourite ways to spend a Saturday morning was to check out the 7" imports box that sat on the counter of Yanks or Piccadilly Records. Buying things that you knew nothing about judging only by sleeve design and band names. This was one of those. I remember taking it home, playing it and thinking "ah well, nothing much going on here" (which was more about what else was in my bag that day). How wrong can a Badger be? This is glorious ... think of the opening of Blue Velvet where the cutesy family are out front and Pop is mowing the lawn and the camera closes in on the severed ear by the white picket fence. Yep, there's a whole heap of weird going on under the surface.
7" released on Ajax Records in 1990.

The BSBC tracks are in a different order and the single Rubber track is now 10 separate tracks. Why are you asking me, I don't know!
CDr released on Brutal Sound Effects at some point. You'd assume that they were released contemporaneously on their own labels.
